In case you were unaware of the change in the 9mm target ammo, the FMJ is no longer being made. It is now considered a TMJ, as it is copper plated. This is true of the 115,124, and the 147gr. as well. I am not sure of the HP's...
If you call or email Brenda at FM, she will confirm this!

F.M. Ammo
I've shot over 1200 rounds of their new 9mm 124 grain ammo without any issues. Their ammo burns much cleaner than comparable ammo from Remington, Winchester, Federal and others. The accuracy is pretty good too, I've attached a couple of pics from my last trip to an indoor shooting range. Each picture is only 1 of 5 on a larger sheet of paper so the individual target is a closeup and appears larger than it actually is. I was shooting my 9mm M&P Pro. Not bad for an old man with bad eyes. I think you will enjoy their ammo too. Regards, Elliot45

Excellent groups and great shooting!
I have the 9mm M&PFS. I would love to achieve results like that. I have 500 rds. of FM 124 gr. ordered and I am quite sure I will be pleased with them. I plan to shoot them in my Shield also. Thanks for posting.

martybee, thanks for the compliment, appreciate it. I think you will be happy with F.M. ammo. I really notice the difference when I clean my guns as there is far less nasty powder to remove from them. More of my shooting now revolves around my 9mm Pro and Shield due to lower price of ammo for those guns. Regards, Elliot45
Freedom Munitions is my go to place for ammo. I've bought quite a bit of their new and remanufactured ammo. Most of the time the new is only slightly more expensive. I've never had a single problem with any of it. They're also pretty quick with shipping.
I purchased new rounds but I will check the seating anyway thanks
Very nice grouping Thanks for sharing and your input!
Great info thanks Ill check
TMJ versus FMJ
I can't answer for Marty but from what I've read both the accuracy and reliability are the same and my experiences haven't shown anything different. I had been shooting Speer Lawman 124 grain TMJ until Cabela's ran out of them and then switched to F.M. new 124 grain FMJ and haven't noticed any differences. I posted a few targets using the F.M. ammo on my first post on this thread but I'll have to look to see if I have any pics of targets using the Lawman ammo. If I find any I'll try to post them. Regards, Elliot45

I am half way through a case of FM 124 gr. 9mm FMJ remans and they run great in both of our Shields. I am satisfied with it and will purchase again. Shipping to North Carolina was a little slow. About 2 weeks from order until received.

I would like to hear your results with the 45 ammo. Did you get the 230 gr ball? Would like to know what you plan to shoot it in and how it recoils in your gun. Afterwards, I will share my experience through my FS 1911.

I'm about 1/2 way through my order of 1,000 rounds of reman .45 FMJs.
I've been very happy with it so far. It's not something I'm going to use at a match. . . but for just range shooting/training, its been perfect. IMO Freedom is THE place to go for training ammo.
Its been pretty soft shooting, but I haven't tried it through my 1911. . . only my FNX-45.

No rob, I don't. As a matter of fact I have been shooting Speer Lawman 124gr TMJ and they are excellent!
I thought I'd try the FM TMJ's. I have 500 on order.

I did. I also shot winchester. Both shot the same to me? I did get 230gr ball. I simply shot at targets jn an indoor range

I ordered 500 rounds of 38 special from them last year when i bought my first revolver.
I got around 1-in-15 to 1-in-20 FTF, at first I thought I was getting light primer strikes due to the revolver, but after trying the rounds in a rented 357/38 rossi lever action, and a ruger 77/357 bolt action I had the same results...
Maybe I just got a bad batch, it seems like most people are happy with their product.

I have used their stuff and it's A-O.K. they and GA are my go to places for online ammo. Like NCait8tor already mentioned shipping to N.C. is slow but hey it's coming from the other side of the country. I just wish they would hurry up and start making 357 Sig so I could give it a try.
My order arrived UPS last night! Packed very well. They had two boxes taped together! 1 for the 500 rounds 115gr FMJ and 1 for the 500 rounds on 124 gr HP.. They fill the empty space in the bow but the could have put the full 1000 rounds in 1 box :O guess they wanted them separate 
What sucked was taking toe box from the UPS guy in a white shirt :O Man the box was filthy! My white T shirt was covered with dirt/dust as well as my hands and arms :O don't know where it has been but it was a dirty place lol...... It all washed off Now to burn some lead

Freedom Munition
I had bad luck with FM 9mm 115gr new. My Shield had 2 failures to extract in 75 rounds.

Hmm. Ive only had two FTE with FM. That was with ny G26 which i had not oiled and pr9bably limp wristed. Since then ive shot prob 1 to 2k in rounds and had nothing.
I've had good luck with www.laxammo.com

I believe they no longer list their new and remanufactured ball ammo as; FMJ. Now it is TMC (Total Metal Case)
There is a difference.
